The most sad episode of SGA

[garhkal]

I might also add in the ep where mccay was going all bat **** crazy due to that bug in his head..

[Flyboy]

The Shrine.

Without a doubt.

Personally, I don't get what's so sad about 'Vegas'.

[Klenotka]

The Shrine and also Before I sleep. They both were bittersweet, with great character moments. Both had happy endings but still, there were really sad moments in both of them.

I actually found Vegas to be pretty uplifting to a degree.
When presented with a choice he could affect, Shep, AU version or not STILL chose to "do the right thing", even at the cost of his own life. He got the "hero" moment that was constantly dodged in most of SGA. (insofar as having to PAY for it)

I think one of the "saddest" eps of SGA was "The Shrine", not so much in content (it got blown 9 ways from hell to a degree), but to see the degredation of a man who's only percieved strength was his mind, and to see him cling to the only person he see's a a "friend" while losing that showed a *potential* depth of character that was quite suprising in many ways for SGA.

So in one reality out of all of them, John didn't survive one of his infamous suicide runs.

I'm afraid I can't see it myself - I found Beckett's funeral far more touching, despite his daft death.

This and Sunday.... OP only talked about SGA so....

[iheartshep]

I was sad watching "Sunday", but I lost it watching Sheppard at Carson's memorial. His eyes........*sniff*

Probably "The Shrine" too. Although they broke the drama up with the "beer on the pier" scene.

The scene in "Outcast" where Sheppard is standing next to his father's coffin.....that made me sad. Anyone who's been through that can relate.

I don't think there were really any sad eps in SGA. Heroes part 2 from SG1 is the saddest episode in the franchise.

[Falcon Horus]

I don't think there were really any sad eps in SGA. Heroes part 2 from SG1 is the saddest episode in the franchise.

I kinda have to agree with that.

Of all the episodes of SG1 and SGA, I have seen Heroes just one time when it aired and never again. It was heartbraking good.

[Lythisrose]

All I can say is that I never cried while watching any of the other SG eps, but after seeing Vegas I was bawling my eyes out and then randomly for the next few days I'd start crying every time I thought of the ep. I think the desolation of it all got to me big time.

[jelgate]

I cried in Vegas too but I don't think it counts as I was crying in not using Ronon and Teyla again

same with me that was the saddest scene but i was also saddened by Johns death

[Hyndara71]

SG1 I'm with the most here "Heroes II" was heartbreaking *sniff*.

For SGA ...
Sunday, Doppelganger (I think I'm with Falcon Horus here ), Ghost in the Machine, The Shrine.
Especially The Shrine is one episode for me that I can barely stand without a box of tissues. DH was brilliant in his role and his acting here reminds me always on my Mom, who had dementia at the end of her life, as my Dad had Alzheimer (funny gene pool, huh?).
As much as I will subscribe that "Vegas" is the best episode all over the franchise and I can understand why some are crying at the end I never saw that Shep died, he was pretty close, true, but (maybe the fanfic-writer in me ) for me he made it somehow.

[Lythisrose]

While The Shrine is one of my favorite episodes (minus a few seconds there at the end), I would never consider it sad. It was dramatic and well done, but I guess I just don't see it as a sad episode. It was more uplifting in that we got to see how the team and Rodney's sister cared for him. Plus The Beer on The Pier scene, it just makes me smile. Not cry.
